Alright, I'll counter your counter by noting that I work for a very large enterprise that has both Exchange and Domino (with thousands of users on each platform). It was a lot easier for us to standardize on a single handheld OS for wireless email than it would be to convert our Notes users to Exchange. Since for most companies, secure email and PIM are the "killer apps", the need to support multiple handheld operating systems is not yet a front burner issue, hence RIM's market leading position.

But here's a serious question. Are you planning to use this acquisition to integrate JP Mobile's technology into Goodlink, or are you going to offer two separate products?
